If they were going to make the pay-offs that would have to change. Roger reports on the final league game of the Guinness premiership.http:rss.feedsportal.comc498f6600s944a16mf.gifhttp://rss.feedsportal.com/c/498/f/6600/s/944a16/story01.htm Devaluation- February 17, 2008 It should have been one of the games of the season. Gloucester, top of the league by the smallest of margins versus Leicester who came second. Gloucester's win should have given them every expectation that this would again be their year. In fact the Tigers could easily win the Premership for the second year in a row. This is by how far such games have been devalued.http:rss.feedsportal.comc498f6600s944a09mf.gifhttp://rss.feedsportal.com/c/498/f/6600/s/944a09/story01.htm Tigers squeeze Cardiff blue- February 17, 2008 Cardiff should have arrived in Leicester in confident mood. They are top of the Magners League having five wins from six games and last week's 32-15 victory over Sale Sharks had also put them top of Pool B of the EDF Energy Cup. Cardiff included two All Blacks and three British and Irish Lions in their starting XV...http:rss.feedsportal.comc498f6600s944a04mf.gifhttp://rss.feedsportal.com/c/498/f/6600/s/944a04/story01.htm Tigers Win on Points- February 17, 2008 It was like watching two heavyweight boxers slug it out for the world title. Leicester were the hard hitting fighter (Jo Frasier) and Toulouse the skillful, technical boxer (Ali). It was the fighter that won 14-9 in a desperately close contest that finished with Leicester on the metaphorical ropes unable to win their own scrum in four attempts.http:rss.feedsportal.comc498f6600s9449fcmf.gifhttp://rss.feedsportal.com/c/498/f/6600/s/9449fc/story01.htm A Tale of Two Toms (as seen with one eye)- February 17, 2008 On the 12th Day of Christmas, the Tigers sent to me Five points and an on-form Goo-dey Anticipation So that&146;s the festivities done. Chrimby deccoes back in the loft, tree quietly shedding in the yard, New Year resolutions broken. Let&146;s take the kids to the panto &150; there&146;s a matinee performance in Twickenham.http:rss.feedsportal.comc498f6600s9449f1mf.gifhttp://rss.feedsportal.com/c/498/f/6600/s/9449f1/story01.htm Campanula Terminus- February 17, 2008 This week, just for added value or more shoite depending on your view, we have 3 reports for the price of one. (and this is the Stopsy report mkII-inky) Firstly for AndreaW - Lewis looked lovely and did so all game. I think Tigers won with a bonus point but that's just too detailed.http:rss.feedsportal.comc498f6600s9449dbmf.gifhttp://rss.feedsportal.com/c/498/f/6600/s/9449db/story01.htm Our Hero- February 17, 2008 No fanfare, no book release and no sniping at coaches was the way Martin Corry decided to end his international career. Much in the same way he conducted himself during his 10 year England career Martin thanked everyone who had helped him and bowed quietly away into the night.http:rss.feedsportal.comc498f6600s9449e6mf.gifhttp://rss.feedsportal.com/c/498/f/6600/s/9449e6/story01.htm Dead Rubber or a Drubbing- February 17, 2008 After the previous weeks no show at Murrayfield, I was unsure what to expect against Leinster. Would we just go through the motions in what for Tigers was a dead rubber. I was soon to find out. Tigers conceded a penalty from the kick off as Jordan Crane was penalised for holding on. Filipe Contemponi kicked the penalty to put Leinster 3-0 up.http:rss.feedsportal.comc498f6600s9449dfmf.gifhttp://rss.feedsportal.com/c/498/f/6600/s/9449df/story01.htm Cubs in the West Country- February 17, 2008 It would be easy to dismiss this as a game where the Tiger Cubs were ultimately out fought and out thought by the wily old heads of the Bristol pack.http:rss.feedsportal.comc498f6600s944a20mf.gifhttp://rss.feedsportal.com/c/498/f/6600/s/944a20/story01.htm |
